1985 HJ75 Pickup

[Gun Runner 5]

Cruisers75100......Nice looking rig. Those are some "manly" driving lights you have there ( they make mine look kinda "wimpy"). If I were in your neighborhood I would sneak by and steal your bonnet protector.

Show us your interior please!

Here you go. You will notice the steering column cover is missing in one of the photos. The turn signal switch failed and I robbed a LHD switch out of a Canadian BJ70 until I can source the proper one.

I see it has been sitting for a bit (some rust on the clutch pedal) You need to drive it more

Out west here people say white is for people undecided about color. I beg to differ!

I sure like your HJ 75! One more time......... Very Nice!


Nice over/under also !

Someone installed incorrect clutch and brake peddle pads with some type of adhesive however the correct ones are enroute.
To be honest, I prefer desert tan but since the truck was originally white I decided to just keep it that way. We are in the middle of Fall hunting down here so I keep the gun close.

Some Japanese gentleman installed the box in 1985 ( I can't take credit for any of that) That is indeed a nice rear bumper.

I love your truck! It is VERY clean for an 1985! I like the fact that Toyota kept the styling the same for so long on these trucks.

Thanks......The HJ75 has an "aerodynamic profile" of a brick however I like that look.

Clean and tidy! Your truck didn't miss out a single part.

On the subject of "rear bumpers" I would appreciate ideas ( or better yet...photos ) of any of the rear bumpers that have been installed.

Why not get the one on the photo? Factory.

MUCHO DINERO.......While I admit the factory bumper is very nice and would look good on the truck the cost of the bumper and shipping would make it very expensive. It may be my only option at some point however it might be more prudent to have a machinist make one.

Thanks......drop me a P.M. when you know something.
"unless you go deep in the bush" ...This truck will never see anything above ankle high grass.

I am not a "real" Land Cruiser owner.....if I scratched it or worse yet knocked a dent into it I would probably cry

Do you see a 12HT install happening in the future?

A friend of mine picked up a sand beige HJ75 troopy last month for $10k off an old couple with a very low klm 12HT sourced from Japan already fitted
Also fitted with ARB lockers ,Lone Ranger tanks front and rear.
The troopy had at least $15k in accessories already fitted,not to mention the little kitchen and bunks in the rear.

While I would readily admit that the stock 2H is somewhat lacking in the "get up and go" department, until it has "issues" I will probably keep it. Hopefully by then I will have set enough money aside to afford a 12H-T.
